A Corinthian Weekend is a chance for young Catholics to listen, discuss, and better understand what it means to be a Catholic today. Since the first Weekend in 2003, the Corinthians has already given 25 weekends here in Hermosa. It has also planted seed weekends in the community of Culis – St. John Paul II Parish. Every Sunday, the members of the Corinthian Community also meet for their weekly pra
yer meeting, which follows after the weekend. The prayer meetings offer a way to stay in touch with the community and an opportunity to continue growing with and in Christ. Aside from the Corinthian Weekends and the weekly prayer meetings, the Corinthian Youth Movement has also created activities like the Dawn Prayer Meeting, Workshop, Recollections and Retreats, Visita Iglesia, Year-Ender Celebration. These activities strengthen the Corinthian members as individuals and as individuals and as a community while in the presence of Christ. To pass on God’s love does not mean helping only people we know but also those whom we do not know yet need the love of God. For this reason, the Corinthian Youth Movement has adopted projects like gift giving during holiday season. In the Bible, the early Corinthians was a misunderstood group but St. Paul constantly affirmed his fondness of them. The present Corinthians sometimes see themselves in the shoes of those early brothers and sisters they were named after. They too, are sometimes misunderstood, criticized and doubted by people. But empowered by God and with God’s Providence and the Parish’s support, the Corinthians have kept their promise - - to pass it on … God’s love.
